We love Oceania's food and they didn't disappoint, again. The Grand Dining Room is very good, but the four specialty restaurants are truly special. They also went out of their way to accommodate the special dining needs of several of our co-sailors. All you needed to do was ask. The ship is wonderful, not too crowded, plenty to do, and with service that is in line with other luxury lines. The cabins are fine; not particularly large but sufficient and well appointed.

The nightly entertainment was spotty - sometimes very good and sometimes quite forgettable. But the daily activities were top-notch and fun: daily bridge, trivia, putting contests, casino tournaments, culinary center classes, afternoon tea, etc. No comments on the ship's shore excursions, since we didn't find a single one that we were induced to purchase: like some other lines, they are not sufficiently interesting and are over-priced.

Overall, Oceania does a great job on the things that matter and we really enjoy the understated elegance.

Cabin was very nice and well laid out, but somewhat small.
